buying an 1150 rt

[theoneandonly]

Someone has hacked this account, never would Baldrick speak of Polish !

OY ! , my bikes don't start as minging POS's , it takes time to get them looking like that !

but to put your mind at rest , the polish i used i got when a friend died back in 2012 .

the Brasso that i used was borrowed from a friend , he had to have a sit-down when i asked for it.

You know the rules, we need pics.

Not of the RT, we know what those look like - pics of you cleaning a bike.

My 1150 RT was last cleaned more than 3 years ago. It has moss growing around the fairing panels … but don’t equate being unwashed with lack of maintenance, it’s the best running 1150 you’ll ever ride .

And who hasn’t ridden something a bit dirty and really enjoyed it

I couldn't disagree more, I had an R1200RT and never gelled with it. I recently bought a low mileage R1150RT and I love it. Finding a good low mileage one is a challenge though.

When Baldrick expressed the desire for an 1150 rather than a 1200, he was speaking from a fair degree of experience...

but it was mainly my wallet speaking ! plus the 1150 is as complicated as i wanted to go .
